Re: 911:: Certification....

June 16, 2000

Hey Bob,

Calif did the same thing when I had been Dispatching (small

agency did it all) for just over 20 years.

If you did not pass you had to attend a basic dispatcher school and try

again. The thing had 125 questions.

We had a new guy who just got out of the school, I borrowed his notes

ran thru them, took the test. Finished up in about 20 minutes and was

out the door. Another dispatcher and I left at the same time, got a lot

of dirty looks from those still chewing on their pencils. Oh forgot to

mention I passed.{:-)

I've noticed that too... I'll send a message at one time and it arrives shortly

back to my email but the times are waaaaay off from when it was actually sent.

Anyone?

Yeah, that's the same for us. It is really a dry book, tho.

But if you or someone could explain, ..your msg to me is timed 10:15 pm

yesterday, and I got it at 2:37 pm today...why is that?
